Have you calibrated the probes?
It's odd that your temp at the grill is lower than the food, are you sure the readings aren't inverted? Or are you monitoring pit temp at a place that is anomalously cool?
dancing james-
Have you calibrated the probes?
Only at room / ambient temperature - I'll chuck them in a pan of boiling water later, and calibrate them to my Thermapen
The pit probe is bang next to the meet on the grate - something odd would need to be happening for differences like that to be happening. Although it could be an airflow thing I guess.
I'll post a graph up later to see if I'm missing something obvious

Just a dry rub, then aiming for 85°C - 90°C - pit temp was set for 100°, but then I backed it down to 85° when the meat approached 80°
Then I went to bed, and came back to meat at 110° and pit at 85°
Given that the pit probe is next to the meat, this made no sense at all
